Higher Education-Community Partnerships for Democracy and Social Change

Registration is now open for the Netter Center’s 25th Anniversary International Conference, “Higher Education-Community Partnerships for Democracy and Social Change,” November 16-17, 2017, which will take place in Houston Hall.

We have confirmed more than 100 speakers from 7 countries. We are so pleased with the extraordinary group of higher education presidents, academics, community leaders, and practitioners who are joining us as speakers. A keynote plenary session involving mayors speaking on community schools is also in development, which will be moderated by Jane Quinn of the Children’s Aid Society. Mayor Jim Kenney of Philadelphia, Mayor Richard Berry of Albuquerque, and Mayor Ras Baraka of Newark are all confirmed.
